Opis

This book investigates the intuitive application of strategic knowledge arbitrage and serendipity (SKARSE) principles by CEOs in their use of mobile electronic devices. CEOs of small to mid-sized organizations are responsible for the income, expenses, and profitability of their respective division and rely heavily on mobile devices for learning, knowledge management, and communication. This book explores the effects of mobile devices on the individual CEO, their interpersonal relationships, and culture.
The book employs a mixed method study and interviews with CEOs about their use of mobile technologies, such as smartphones and laptops, and their perceived effectiveness. New discoveries, productivity and process, and social/individual networking behaviors are explored with direct linkage to learning, knowledge, entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology.
Being connected to colleagues and clients 24/7 has both advantages and drawbacks, and this book will help students, academics, and business professionals recognize events that can add to knowledge and enhance management skills.
